Syntax
BOOL TabCtrl_SetItemExtra( HWND hwnd, int cb);
Parameters
hwnd
Handle to the tab control.
cb
Number of extra bytes.
Return Values
TRUE indicates success. FALSE indicates failure.
Remarks
By default, the number of extra bytes is four. An application that changes the number of extra bytes cannot use the TCITEM structure to retrieve and set the application-defined data for a tab. Instead, you must define a new structure that consists of the TCITEMHEADER structure followed by application-defined members.
An application should only change the number of extra bytes when a tab control does not contain any tabs.
